Verse 47Space

Body Filled with Sky

Bhairava

Imagine that every part of your body is filled with open space. Instead of feeling dense and closed, your body can be felt as airy and spacious. Repeating this gently makes the feeling more steady.

सिं देहगतं द्रव्यं वियद्व्याप्तं मृगेक्षणे । विभाियेत्ततस्तस्य भावना सा वस्थरा भवेत् ॥ ४७ ॥

sarvaṃ dehagataṃ dravyaṃ viyadvyāptaṃ mṛgekṣaṇe | vibhāvayet tataḥ tasya bhāvanā sā sthirā bhavet || 47 ||

Translation

O doe-eyed one, one should contemplate all substances in the body as pervaded by space. Then that contemplation becomes steady.

See all bodily matter as permeated by space until that perception becomes stable and continuous.
